But I didn’t. The device has lost its formatting a number of times and has had to be wiped. It also has Firewire port issues. data robotics, the makers of Drobo have not been very good on the Tech Support front, it should be replace able under warranty which you have to pay for and you also have to pay to ship it across Europe because that don’t have a repair center in the UK. A full review is here http://web.me.com/jamie_jones/Drobo-Review/index.html because it would take up to much space on this website. I also suggest other options.

I'm looking at the Elite and would love to hear what you have to say about it. Any idea when Part 2 is going to be published.

What kind of processor is in the unit? Regarding the BeyondRAID thing, is it a software based kind of RAID or the unit has an hardware BeyondRAID controller? Thx, Didier Hi, I couldn’t find the info… What kind of processor is in the unit?
